The Textbook of Yoga Psychology, written by noted Sanskrit scholar and yogi Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D., combines his definitive translation with an inspiring interpretation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Patanjali's ancient formulae for self-analysis make this text crucial to the proper understanding of the philosophy, psychology and practice of Yoga. An extensive Introduction provides a lucid and thorough examination of the Sankhya Yoga Philosophy from which the Yoga Sutras emerged. The accessibility of Dr. Mishra's translation of the Yoga Sutras has made this the favorite among beginning Yoga students, while experienced yogis and novices both appreciate the clarity of his commentaries on each sutra. Dr. Mishra's interpretation is unique in placing this ancient work in a modern context, examining Yoga psychology in the light of recent advances in psychiatry, psychology and parapsychology. Increasing its value as a reference, this edition features a new Appendix with the entire text of the Yoga Sutras in the original Sanskrit and in a transliterated form, with a revised, literal English translation by the author.

Self Knowledge (or Atma Bodha) is one of the celebrated works by the renowned sage Shankaracharya, who is said to have lived from 788 to 820 AD, during a time when India was in great need of dynamic spiritual renewal. Shankara is considered one of the genius-seers and true masters of the non-dualistic Vedanta philosophy.  There have been several useful translations of this classic, but the present volume is unique in its comprehensive scope and insight. Here Dr. Mishra provides extensive lucid commentary on the text, revealing both its profound philosophical implications and its poetic use of metaphor to illustrate the nature of the Self.  Throughout these pages, readers may discover a sense of grace, sensitivity as well as scholastic integrity. Any one verse may be used as a contemplative source for meditation or daily inspiration, while the entire text is presented in the original Sanskrit Devanagari script with English transliteration and word-by-word translation for in-depth study.
